2024-25 Faith Formation Schedule

​

Faith Formation Calendar 2024-2025

​

Vision: To help parents be the primary educators of their children by helping them review their student’s work and accompany them every weekend in the celebration of the Holy Mass, the other Sacraments, Christian service and the study of our Catholic faith. *In case of inclement weather, class cancellations will correspond with Goodhue Public School decisions. Any other changes will be communicated through email and Flocknote.
